Mahindra Scorpio Classic with 26-inch Alloys
This video has been uploaded by Tarun Vlogs3445 on YouTube. The YouTuber interacts with the owner of this unique Scorpio Classic. Having talked to him about the modifications on the SUV, it is revealed that the owner spent a whopping Rs 3.2 lakh for these alloys alone. The design is quite interesting with a 5-spoke pattern. The profile of the tyre is 295/30 R26 which is what you would generally find in sports cars. This makes the sidewall very thin allowing thuds and pothole jerks to enter the cabin.

Yet another disadvantage of these alloys is the added weight which is resulting in a mileage of around 8-9 km/l, as confirmed by the owner. To accommodate these alloys, the front bumper and the area around the tyre have been cut. Also, there is an additional component attached to the wheel assembly to raise the height of the SUV by 2 inches. In addition to that, the owner has even modified the headlamp cluster with 120 W LED and HID elements in the headlights and LED fog lamps.

Total Cost
What is even more shocking is that the owner also splurged a cool Rs 65,000 on the custom number. He plans to upgrade the music system of the Scorpio in the future. But as of now, the total money he spent on the SUV is well over Rs 5.5 lakh. This also includes a Rs 1.2 lakh PPF coating to protect the paint. While many people would argue that one could buy an entire car for this money, there is a case to be made that these are the passions of people. If someone likes such modifications and can afford it, then he/she is well within his rights to do so. We would still like to hear your comments about this unique Mahindra Scorpio Classic with humungous 26-inch alloys.
